Our vibrant city is host to all manner of businesses and organisations. Together, they offer a whole range of exciting opportunities. We believe that everyone should have the right to access these jobs and careers. That’s why we need a motivated Employment Adviser to join our dedicated Adult Services team.

You’ll focus on helping people with learning and physical disabilities to find paid work opportunities. It’s all about implementing the principles of supported employment and empowering people to make informed choices and decisions. As well as preparing people for work, you’ll negotiate with employers. Once you’ve established contact, you’ll build a relationship and secure paid employment opportunities.

Specifically, you’ll:

Contact employers and obtain paid jobs

Help people prepare for work and find the job they want

Provide benefits advice so people can make choices about their income

Work to set policies and procedures

Help people settle into their new workplace.

You know all about the issues faced by people with disabilities when it comes to finding work. In fact, you already have experience of helping them find employment. You therefore know how to assess their abilities and strengths, and how to connect with people who have communication difficulties. Now you’re ready to put these skills to work, here in the heart of London. As well as working with a wide range of carers, case managers and other agencies, you’ll be ready to liaise with employers and negotiate paid jobs and opportunities. That takes confidence and the drive to promote people’s rights. If you feel you have the expertise, join us – and be where it all happens.

Closing Date: 22nd September 2017
